What do you mean by "buy the publication fee"? I didn't know that was an option in peer-reviewed journals. Where do they generally publish?

What Boros said in an interview (won't link it since it's in Hungarian) is that there's an extra fee to be paid for the authors to be able to put the papers on their own homepage as open access articles.

I don't know more details about it, but surely he can answer your question or you can find the answer in sciencedirect or whatever. I'm not familiar with the science bureaucracy machine, sorry.

There's journals that are specifically open access and there's a fee for publishing in them. Some of them are excellent. There are also publications that accept just about any paper as long as the author pays to have it published. I'm trying to figure out which kind they're publishing in. I'll see what I can figure out.
